If so what does it look like and what meds did you used. I heard Lotrimin AF, Nystatin, or Monistat are some of them. Which one is the best?

I have a neice who has had it once. You need to try to change the diapers you are using. Take the baby to the doctor as well. DO NOT use monistat or anything like that until you speak to the doctor... the only thing i would suggest using is diaper rash medication. My neice ended up having to have some kind of estrogen cream for the infection.

A lot of babies get yeast infections because a mother's body is covered in yeast and they gnaw on the mother. Everyone's body has yeast on it. White spots in the mouth is "Thrush"--a form of yeast infection. Cottage cheesy discharge from the genitalia also signals yeast infection. All those remedies are good but make sure you check with a doctor tho get the right amount to use for a baby. One of the best home remedies I use is yogurt with the active bacteria in it. Plain or fruit flavored can be used. Just feed a little to the baby with a spoon. Make sure there are no bits of fruit in it because a baby can't chew it and could choke on the bits.

Hello, I'm on the second week and seeing definite improvement on my yeast infection symptoms:

Note that: If the yeast infection doesn't respond to over the counter treatment, prescription medication will likely be necessary. Similarly, if the symptoms return after two months of being treated, you should contact the doctor for professional treatment rather than resorting again to home treatment.

If this is the first time you have experienced a yeast infection, you should schedule an appointment to have the condition treated by a doctor instead of resorting to home treatment

Assuming you are talking about a vaginal yeast infection, not an oral one, I would say take her to a Dr, don't use an over the counter medication. They are designed for adults and I don't know if they'd be safe for a child. Also when you give her a bath, don't use bubble bath. They have been known to cause yeast infections in little girls.

You have to take them to the doctor. Thrush is the most common yeast infection in babies, that is in the mouth. But get medical advice before you go putting adult medicine in small babies!

it's a red bumpy rash that looks really raw. You can definately use those meds ( my pediatrician says so), but you may want to get him to call you in a prescription for clortramizol which is the prescription strength of all those medicines.

my girls have, its a very distinctive rash on the bottom and labia. little red raised bumps, it may even smell yeasty, clearly defined edge to the rash.
all those things work, and contain the same active ingrediant. get one with no dyes or perfumes though, that stings

I would not second guess when it comes to a baby's health...take the baby to the doctor so you can know for sure what is going on...
